Thanks a lot for the answers! 1. Can you tell me approximately how many unique visitors you had during the shows? I'm kind of curious... 3. We're using cloudfront... So you'd advise on using Akamai instead? or would cloudfront be ok? 6. For payments, we're using Authorize.net (with the CIM feature to capture credit card information)... Hadn't thought that they could be a bottle neck but I'll definitely at least check up with them... 7. Makes sense, I'll suggest that... It'll be a fun few months preparing... I've been meaning to play around with Varnish, now's my chance :-) |

3. Any cdn should be ok. You just want to offload those files to somebody else. Remember that browsers will only download a few resources from a single domain concurrently, so even if you have a subdomain for statics you'll get a faster page load. Hint: use yslow for more frontend optimization tips.
6. Authorize.net can handle it--we used them. But if your shopping cart can't, it's always nice to have a Paypal 'buy it now' button ready to go. Not real elegant, but it's a backup plan.
